Looks good surprised you guys are running a bar saw set up.

We work a lot of rough rocky ground and use the head to lift and turn the machine a lot. Also use the head for digging and leveling skid trails, pulling stumps etc. Our operator can out produce most hotsaw operators with the barsaw, he is very good at what he does. Did a lot of considering and the bar saw seems best for our setup. The machine is plumbed for a hotsaw if we decide to go that route in the future.
Lesson learned today, Don't stick face/beard into the butt of day old doug fir, then eat ice cream, cause inevitably your doing to drool some ice cream into said beard, then try to wipe it away with callused hand.
So basically I'm letting my Rasberry sherbet drip onto the desk/keyboard...

About that paternity test...
Longer Log Chain
At my age, conservation of your energy and time starts to take priority, so to save those otherwise unnecessary treks back to the tractor when you stopped just out of chain's reach I purchased a longer chain today. As a bonus it is actually an upgrade from my old chains with it's nice looped end.
I don't know what to upgrade next, the tractor or my labor pool. Probably, the labor pool; it's not likely that I am going to drag my new chain through the bush.

On the 6410 John Deere we have we use to use a 8 ft flail with a hitch that would allow it to be lifted and be pushed away from center to the right. Our 30 horse that's narrowed up for Christmas trees we use a 48" Rears flail talk about a heavy duty unit.

Yup. Fitty horse with pretty strong hydraulics. Not built as well as a kubota or better deere, but priced accordingly.

We have a mahindra dealer where i get hay and stuff at ,the enclosed cab ones look nice for wintertime work .nothing worse then a wet ass from a soaked seat .
I thought I would wrap it around my homemade front weights for additional ballast. Of course that raises the issue of now where am I going to carry the 3/8" chain that I actually use. I guess I'll wrap it around the carrier in the rear. BTW how is your grapple project going?
The mower is 84" and is a well built Italian job. But on sharp turns, it has enough momentum to slide the tractor sideways - really bad when wet. I have a 72" of the same brand and design but it doesn't have near the heft.
Jon has the set up for getting the job done. It takes me so long to mow that I have for the last several years let my side yards grow and be cut for hay. This year only got one cutting and no more expected with all the heat so I had to break out the mower again. Our town has a 12" rule. Hay crops excepted.

Mowing in a dust cloud at 100f is worse than a wet ass. In tx, a cab is called a "gentlemen's tractor". The AC can't keep up, but it's much better than the alternative

Front and rear is fine, cause it has wipers/fluid. You can't just lean over and check out u'r clearance, but I will never buy an open or a 2wd tractor again. It's also nice when a branch whips the **** out of the cab, and you know it would have been u'r face, or something thumps hard on the roof, and you know it would have been u'r dome.
Never know when that roof may be handy. I was mowing a few years ago and this happened just after I passed:
Didn't take me long to make sure it's kin didn't do the same:

The B3030 Kubota we have has a cab and we absolutely love it for Christmas tree work with getting wacked in the face with those heavy limbs or pissing off a bees nest. Another thing is you can also put in charcoal filter in for spraying without any extra gear.
